ABSTRACT

MANUAL BENDING MACHINES ARE VERSATILE TOOLS USED IN METALWORKING TO

CREATE PRECISE ANGLES AND CURVES IN VARIOUS TYPES OF MATERIALS SUCH
AS PIPES, TUBES, BARS, AND SHEETS. THEY ARE OPERATED BY HAND AND DO
NOT REQUIRE ELECTRICAL POWER, MAKING THEM IDEAL FOR USE IN SMALL
WORKSHOPS AND ON JOB SITES WHERE POWER MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE. IN THIS
MANUSCRIPT, WE WILL DISCUSS THE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS PROCESS THAT
INFORMED THE DESIGN OF A MANUAL BENDING MACHINE, THE DESIGN PROCESS
ITSELF, THE KEY FEATURES OF THE MACHINE, THE MATERIALS AND
MANUFACTURING METHODS USED, AND THE TESTING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
PROCESSES INVOLVED. BY EXAMINING THE DESIGN AND USE OF MANUAL
BENDING MACHINES, THIS MANUSCRIPT AIMS TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE
OVERVIEW OF THESE USEFUL TOOLS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE FIELD OF
METALWORKING.
INTRODUCTION

A MANUAL BENDING MACHINE BENDS METAL SHEETS OR BARS INTO DIFFERENT

SHAPES AND ANGLES. BECAUSE THE MACHINE IS OPERATED MANUALLY, NO
POWER SOURCE, SUCH AS ELECTRICITY OR HYDRAULICS, IS REQUIRED. IT IS A
SIMPLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR SMALL-SCALE METAL FABRICATION
AND BENDING TASKS.

THE MACHINE IS MADE UP OF A SERIES OF ROLLERS EQUIPPED ON A FRAME. THE

ROLLERS ARE USUALLY ADJUSTABLE AND CAN BE MOVED CLOSER OR FARTHER
APART DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE METAL SHEET OR BAR BEING BENT. IN
ADDITION, THE MACHINE HAS A HANDLE OR LEVER THAT THE USER CAN TURN TO
APPLY FORCE TO THE METAL AND BEND IT INTO THE DESIRED SHAPE.

MANUAL BENDING MACHINES ARE FREQUENTLY UTILIZED IN SMALL WORKSHOPS

OR HOME-BASED METALWORKING PROJECTS, WHERE THEY CAN PROVIDE A
QUICK AND EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR METAL BENDING. THEY ARE ALSO POPULAR
AMONG DIY ENTHUSIASTS WHO ENJOY BUILDING THEIR OWN METAL
STRUCTURES, SUCH AS GATES, RAILINGS, AND DECORATIVE PIECES.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, A MANUAL BENDING MACHINE IS A HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

AND PRACTICAL TOOL FOR BENDING A VARIETY OF METALS, SUCH AS ALUMINUM,
COPPER, BRASS, AND STEEL. IT IS SIMPLE TO USE, LOW-COST, AND REQUIRES
LITTLE MAINTENANCE, MAKING IT AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR ANYONE LOOKING
FOR A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO BEND METAL SHEETS OR BARS.
OBJECTIVE

THIS PROJECT WILL HELP THE STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS IN

USING DIFFERENT MACHINE TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT, WHICH CAN ALSO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF TABLETOP MANUAL ROLLER BENDING

MACHINE

2. USE OF CHAIN AND SPROCKET, BENDING AND MOVING ROLLERS,

BEARINGS, AND SPINDLE WHEEL AS MAIN COMPONENTS TO BEND
PIPES/RODS UP TO 1 INCH IN DIAMETER.

3. APPLICATION OF A SCREW-BASED MECHANISM ALONG WITH THE

SPINDLE-POWERED ROLLERS ALLOWS THE USER TO ACHIEVE THE
DESIRED BENDING.

4. INSTALLATION OF HOUSING AND SUPPORTING FRAME.
